Hi guys, last week I started to play Valorant again, I played beta, act 1 and I totally skipped act 2.

I peeked immortal 1 in act 1 and now (act 3) I've hit diamond 2 with ease and no pressure at all.

​

My problem is that the higher rank I get the more I'm scared of being judged by my teammates for not playing good enough.

This is how my brain works during some high rank games: "holy sh*t my Reyna is immortal 3, omg they're all immortal I cannot fk this up".

I keep pressing tab to check the scoreboard and it's all ok as long as I get a decent amount of frags but my mentality goes from 100 to 0 in a split second if I press tab and I see myself at the bottom of the scoreboard.

It gets worse if any of my teammates makes the slightest comment about my performance during the game, I start to play horribly and I can't wait for the game to end so I can take a break.

It's important to say that I play to improve, not to win that single game, I really want to improve at the game but sometimes anxiety hits so hard I can't keep on playing.

I played on a couple of smurf accounts and the same happens, I reach diamond 2-3 very easy but then I start to get the feeling that all the other players are better than me and I don't want to be judged by them at any cost.

I'd also like to say that this only happens in Valorant: I've been playing league for like 10 years now, no such problems whatsoever; played csgo for over 1000 hours and never experienced anything like that.

​

Can anyone give me some tips to overcome this kind of anxiety?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the bad english.
